Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (Paris, 1724-1780) was "never seen without a
pencil in his hand, intent in sketching all that appeared in front
of his eyes." His Livre de Croquis (sketchbook )is a veritable
chronicle of Parisian life in the 18th century. Compiled between
1760 and 1778 it contains views of the streets and monuments of the
ville lumiere, scenes at the theatre or of a grand ball, portraits
of young workers writing, sewing or playing an instrument.
Saint-Aubin's minute annotations are deciphered and explained in
the commentary volume. The sketchbook, acquired from the heirs of
Saint-Aubin, was guarded jealously in a private collection - and
was, therefore, almost unknown - until 1941 when it was acquired by
the Louvre. It has never before been reproduced in its entirety.
